AMEC has been awarded a five year support services contract by Saudi Aramco to support its massive development programme in Saudi Arabia. This is an important strategic step providing a significant bridgehead from which AMEC will look to grow further select opportunities within Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Country Manager Adil Al Asfoor said: "Saudi Aramco is clearly an important client for us in King Wilkinson. We have worked for them continuously for over 30 years. This project provides a further 5 years of work for us and we expect, as a minimum, to grow the number of personnel employed to at least 250, in the first 12 months of the contract. This project secures a base on which to grow AMEC's other skills, including Engineering and PMC services. And in turn demonstrate to our regional clients that we are able to support additional planned future growth."
